Many of us in Northern Ohio are low in iodine. Iodine is essential for our metabolism to work correctly and helps us lose weight. It also helps with cold hands and feet, a body temperature below 98.6 F, and hair loss. It also helps with those of us dreading winter. People with iodine deficiency may find themselves being overly emotional (tearing up over a dumb commercial) and have tenderness on the ribs inside of the sternum. David Brownstein, MD, states in his book (Iodine: Why You Need It, Why You Can’t Live Without It) that iodine deficiency plays a large role in the production of breast and other cancers. For November, Iodine and Seaweed products (Alaria Supreme) are 20% off.
